Kevin Harvick Finally Gets Happy At Richmond

What Was Wrong With What Denny Said?
Going into Las Vegas this week, all eyes were turned to the new Gen 6 car and just how it will perform on the tracks that is was made for – the 1 1/2 miler so called “cookie cutter” tracks. There was even some testing being done on Thursday of this week prior to the [...]
